ldap-account-manager and php versions in Ubuntu 16.04 are incompatible

[halfgaar]

Ldap-account-manager 5.2-1ubuntu1 shipped with Ubuntu 16.04 has no PHP 7 support, and Ubuntu 16.04 has no PHP5 anymore. Package doesn't work.

Error:

PHP Fatal error: 'continue' not in the 'loop' or 'switch' context in /usr/share/ldap-account-manager/lib/modules/nisNetGroupUser.inc on line 562

Please upgrade to 5.3:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I did find that there is a Debian package for LAM 6.0.1 on their site that installs on Ubuntu 16.04 using php7.

[Jon Schewe (jpschewe)]

I tried the package from the LAM site and couldn't get the login to work. However I found that phpLDAPadmin works and is supported. So I've switched.

[Roland Gruber (post-rolandgruber)]

The latest LAM releases (6.0.1 and later) have full PHP 7.1 compatibility and still work on PHP 5.6. Please get the software from there.

If there any other issues like login please provide some more details and it will be fixed.

I didn't find the corrected package in the official repositories.
Was this fix released on another update channel?
